Starring Don King. I can't believe they paid so much to have the man that ruined boxing in the game. Im still hyped as hell though. I love boxing, and i love videogame boxing even more. I wish i could play victorious boxers 2. Anyways heres the link.

This is old news and its not the official/announced title of the game. This hasnt been confirmed by 2k.

I loved Ring King for the NES! You could throw some devestating upper-cuts in that game.

In all honesty, that game is still one of the deepest boxing games for any console ever made. I loved it!

I think I had a record of 67-1 and one time. But I hated how your sparring sessions counted against your record.

In reality, my 'ranked' record was closer to 33-0. I was awesome. Actually, I still am.

I love the fact that Venom is doing it, but if true, paying $1 million to Don King is ridiculous unless that somehow financially ties all his fighters. Because with $1 million, I could get on the phone and get an amazing roster and not just a mascot.

Hey its old, but you guys were going nuts about "just" hearing that 2k is making a boxing game. That article only had one line about Pavlik signing with 2k then it got erased. This article (which i didn't see posted) reveals alot more information.

I wonder how much involvement Don King will have in the game now. It sounded like they really wanted to explore a story mode with it.

I'd much rather they spent the money on Emanual Steward or any other famed manager. I'm very interested in the managerial aspect of the sport; finding fighters, developing them, losing them, keeping a stable together, etc. That would be cool.

Agreed. What is so infuriating is these companies act like it is so hard to make a good boxing game.

There are a ton of quality boxers out there that would love for their likeness to be in a game for as little as $5,000.

And just add a bunch of generic fighters that you can build up and progress through a career, and you are golden.

This should not be difficult. In fact, it should be rather easy.

Way too much attention is put to mo-cap and graphics.

I don't need these boxers to put on black suits with white balls on them to make it realistic. I could take the same model of a boxer, make a few tweaks, and easily create a Lewis, Ali, Holmes, and the Klitschkos.

Ring King was right up there with Techmo Super Bowl for me.

I mean the rankings were so deep.

I used to love the uppercuts over the top rope! LOL

There was this one dude with a big, white afro and I think purple trunks that I could never beat.

But I used to love the game to death.

I have to dig up this game again.

one of the most slept on games on the NES....

i wouldnt mind if they made a game like that now but with just more people

VB is the only game that compares to this game.

I have VB2 at home and while I haven't been able to give the career mode the proper time, I'll still rumble with some exhibition bouts.
Great game.

It's amazing to me that games that are over 10 years old still kick the next-gen's ***.

- Ring King (NES)
- Evander Holyfield boxing (Genesis)
- Victorious Boxers (PS2)
